When life gves you lemons, Make lemonade!

The other day we went out to find a few yard sales. There is a town a few miles away from us that does a huge town wide yard sale every year, and I wanted to hit those up! And boy did I get some good buys! One sale we went to I got Emma 2 movies Cars & The American girl doll movie Kit Kittredge. $2.00 a piece for them and they were brand new! I also let Emma pick out a bunch of books too. She's so into reading now which is awesome =) They also had a TON of gap clothes for sale. But everything was about 3 sizes too big for Emma right now, so I held off on those. The next place we went I got an awesome bench made out of moosehead maple. I am in LOVE with it! Moosehead is a brand of wood products that are made here in Maine, but brand new are super super expensive. I scored the bench for $20 bucks! The last place we went is where I got my most favorite thing ever! We pulled up in front of this house and outside the house was a lemonade stand. I wasn't sure at first if it was for sale or if they had kids there selling lemonade. But it was For Sale!!! =) So we bought it and loaded it up! Emma has been excited all weekend to have a lemonade stand. So today at noon we went out on the front lawn and set up her stand =)

Don't you just love Emma's shirt? She loves to have shits with either her name on it or with just an E. I ordered this shirt from Shawna over at Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. She has some great stuff! Here is her etsy site:

Her shop is currently closed, but she will be opening it again soon! Definitely check her out =)

We had sooo much fun with this! Emma was out selling from 12:00 to 2:00 today, she charged 25 cents a cup and she ended up making $9.25! She was super excited about that! We had all kinds of people stopping for Lemonade. It was a good way to spend a couple of hours on Fathers Day =)
